EPISODE 2.17 - Our Worst [Gaming] Nightmares (Scary Video Game Enemies)

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast--your source of geekly entertainment!

This week we seem to have traumatized Seth, or at the very least dredged up a lot of bad memories from video games. But never fear, the GNAPcast is a great place for a group therapy session! ...Yeah, not really.

Join Seth and David this week as they talk about some of the most terrifying enemies and moments they've experienced in video games, firsthand or otherwise. We'll also discover that David watches more games than he plays, and that Seth is really bad at performing melee actions, especially when they involve spiders.
